The latest scare was on Christmas Eve in 2016 when he had to have his leg further amputated after falling out of his wheelchair and contracting an infection.

Julie is unsure what caused Chris to become unresponsive during the night. His death is now subject to an investigation by the Somerset Coroner.

She believes her son nearly saved his father’s life.

She said: “I think it was his Army cadet training that gave him the knowledge to do what he did. When the ambulance arrived they said that Jack had done the compressions properly as a couple of Chris’ ribs were broken.

“I was in a complete daze while all this was going on. But Chris was so calm the whole time. I’m just so proud of how he behaved that day.”
